Installing the Water Filter
The Water Filter is used to capture impurities
in your water. The lter life is determined by
the average daily use of your humidier and
the water hardness in your area. It is strongly
recommended that the lter is replaced every
2 - 4 months (depending on use). The humidier
should not be used without connecting the water
lter to the water cap. The lter screws onto
the water cap and should not be over tightened
(just tight enough so that there is no water
leakage).
Replacement filters are available through the retailer with whom you
purchased this humidifier, through our customer service number (866) 577-
0312, or through our web site www.westinghouseiaq.com

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using any electrical appliance, basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of re or electric shock that may cause
injury, including the following:
● Read the instructions carefully before use, and save them for future reference.
● Make sure the power used corresponds to the one indicated on the rating label.
● Always have water in the water tank when operating this unit.
● Use only clean cool tap water to ll tank. (Softened or distilled water is
recommended in hard water areas).
● Ensure the lling cap at the bottom of the water tank is rmly tightened (do
not over-tighten).
● Always have the mist nozzle and the mist chamber in place while the unit is
operating. Rotate the mist nozzle so it is aimed away from children, walls, and
furniture.
● Place the humidier on a smooth level surface.
● Always disconnect the humidier from the main supply when not in use and
when cleaning the unit.
● This appliance is intended for household use only.
● Do not leave the humidier in the “ON” position unattended.
● Never cover the humidier when operational as this could damage the
unit.
● Do not add aroma therapy chemicals into the nozzle, base or water tank.
● Do not cover any openings of the unit or insert objects into any of the openings.
● Do not tilt, tip, empty, or ll the unit while it is operating.
● Do not immerse the humidier in water or let water come into contact with the
connector or control device.
● Keep the humidier clean. Do not allow objects to enter the vent area as this
may damage the unit.
● Close supervision is required when any appliance is used near or by children.
● Never allow the cord to touch wet or hot surfaces, become twisted, or be within
the reach of children.
● Do not use outdoors.
● Do not place on or near gas or an electric burner.
● Never use the appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
has malfunctioned in any way.
● Never attempt to open any part or dismantle the controls. Responsibility
for failure cannot be accepted if these instructions have been ignored.
● Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
● Any repairs that need to be done to the humidier must be referred to an
Authorized Service Agent only.
● The unit should not be left unattended in closed rooms as air could become
saturated and leave condensation on walls or furniture.
● Do not use detergent to clean any parts containing water. The detergent can
interfere with the output of the unit if it comes into contact with the water.
● Always leave room door partly open.

Using the Product
1. Power Switch
2. Negative Ion
3. Accu-Smart® Switch
4. Mist Output/Sleep Mode Adjustment
5. Humidity Display
6. Sleep Mode Symbol
Power Switch
Turn on by pressing the On/Off button. The machine will start in the Hi Speed
mode. You can change the mode according to desired level of humidity and
function.
Accu-Smart® (A/S)
When using the Accu-Smart® Humidity feature, once the humidity reaches
65% RH the machine will stop producing a mist. Once the humidity level is
lower than 60% the mist will re-start.
OPERATION
Before Use:
● Carefully remove your humidier from the carton, and take off all the protective
wrapping.
● Select a location for your humidier on a at level surface about 4” away from
the wall. DO NOT place the humidier on a nished oor or near furniture,
which can be damaged by too much moisture or water. Place on a moisture
resistant surface.
● For rst time use, place the humidier in a room that represents normal
conditions. After half an hour, it can be operated.
● Working temperature: 40-105 degrees Fahrenheit, relative humidity: ≤80%RH
● Use water that is less than 105 degrees Fahrenheit (puried water is recommended).
● Remove the water tank from the base of unit, open the cap and ll from
bottom with water.
● Screws the water lter onto the water cap.
● Close the cap with water lter connected and put the water tank on the base
correctly. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE WATER CAP. To correct a water leak
problem from the cap, remove the silicon seal and replace it in the reverse
position after a period of use.
● Put the nozzle in the notch of water tank and adjust the nozzle away from
walls and furniture.
● Plug the humidier into a 120V power outlet.

Mist Output Adjustment
When choosing the mist output level, your choices are Hi (2 lights), Low (1 light),
and Sleep (small moon symbol) Modes. If any of the buttons are pressed
while in the Sleep Mode, the machine will restart in the Hi output Mode.
Negative Ion features (ION)
When using the Negative Ion feature, negative ions will be released with the
mist. Negative ions will add more oxygen to the air within the mist.
Auto Safety Control & Alarm
Under normal conditions, if the water tank is removed, the machine will go into
a “standby mode” to prevent water from splashing. If the tank is off the humidier
for more than 45 seconds, the control panel will light up and sound an alarm
(only the moon will light up under sleep mode). Once the tank is replaced, the
machine will restart in 5 seconds. If the water tank is not replaced within 5
minutes, the humidier will turn off the transducer and blower and again will
light up and sound the alarm. This machine will also follow the same procedures
if the water tank is empty or not positioned correctly on the base.
CLEANING YOUR ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIER
Note: When cleaning the inside of the unit, keep the water away from the air outlet.
■To Keep the Unit Clean:
-Use puried water
-Clean the base of unit, water tank, and ultrasonic transducer every week
-Always use clean water.
-Always drain the water tank when not in use.
-Clean all parts of the humidier before storing by wiping with a damp cloth,
and bufng with a dry cloth. (Except for the electrical control when the unit
is off, any part of the humidier may be wiped with a soft damp cloth, and buffed
with a dry cloth , ensuring the unit is unplugged.)
■Cleaning your humidier
-Always unplug this humidier before cleaning.
-This humidier must be drained and cleaned before storing.
-To clean, use equal parts of distilled white vinegar and water (recommended
amount is 8 ounces of vinegar and 8 ounces of puried water.) Pour this
solution in the water tank and run on high speed for 10 minutes. Rinse out
with clean water and run again for the second time. Replace with fresh water
and the humidier is ready for use.
■To Clean the Ultrasonic Transducer:
- Put 5-10 drops of distilled vinegar on the surface of the transducer and wait for
2 - 5 minutes;
- Gently clean the surface of transducer with a soft brush until residue is removed;

OTHER FEATURES
In cold weather, windows, and even some walls may fog or develop frost from excessive
indoor humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist intensity setting to avoid damage from
condensation on the windowsills. Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture
to accumulate on surfaces where bacteria and fungi can grow. Collected moisture may
also harm furniture, walls, and especially wallpaper. To eliminate high levels of humidity,
especially in a small room, leave the door open, add or adjust the mist intensity control
setting.
